Upstairs||Tsukkiyama||

A Desperate University Student

Tsukishima Kei, a history major at the outer city's University. It's not that he hates the school he goes to; it's the commute. Everyday Tsukishima had to walk to the nearest bus stop and stay on that bus for 3 whole hours. Sure there were closer schools but they weren't nearly as nice as this one.

His day was the same: Wake up at the ass crack of dawn (as he likes to put it), get ready, making the commute that almost always got caught in traffic, go to the school and do his classes, do homework at a local coffee shop, catch the next bus, and finally go home.

It did change one day when a certain cute owner of a certain cute coffee shop put up a notice about living arrangements, Tsukishima had to apply. Although the labor would be the worst of it, the offer had more pro's than con's. Although, he knew a lot of people had applied because the day he went to the line was out the door. That's when he remembered a certain tangerine owed him a huge favor when Tsukishima had caught him and Kageyama doing something they shouldn't have. That's a story for another time though; maybe sometime it will be told.

Tsukishima dialed his number after giving the application to the, in his opinion, cute owner.

Hinata:
TSUKISHIMA!! How have you been?? How's University?? Wha- .... Wait. You never call me. Unless you need something from me.

Tsukishima
You know my too well shorty, I am here to call in that favor. I need you to recommend me to the owner of that coffee shop near my Uni. You have told me before that you guys are high school friends and I want that job.

Hinata:
Ughhhh out of all the things it's that? Fine, no take backs though. It also won't be my fault if you don't get the job!

Hinata hung up the phone right as Tsukishima was getting on the next bus home. He took a seat at the back, taking his head phones off his neck on onto his head. Tsukishima listened to his music, scrolling through his social media. A certain post on his feed showed a picture of a nicely done latte art.

Yama's_Coffee_Shop: I am happy to announce that after months of failed attempts, I finally succeeded! I can't wait to teach my new employee how to do latte art, although frustrating at times :) As you all know I will announce said employee tomorrow!

Tsukishima smiled to himself after reading the caption and liking the picture. 'Latte art? What's the point if it's just going to get messed up quickly?' He thought; but deep down he thought it was pretty cool of course he wouldn't openly express that.

Soon the bus came to his stop and he got off; walking to his house. After such a long day he was ready to go to bed. Once he got home, Tsukishima put his stuff away, also getting ready for bed. He heard his phone make a 'ping' sound, then checking it frustrated that it interrupted his attempt at sleep.

Hinata:
I just called him so now we are even! No more favors from me this point on 😤😤

Tsukishima left him on read and once again got into his comfortable sleep position, thinking about how easy life would be if he got that job. I mean, working a few hours after school in exchange for his own space AND having a short commute? It was a no brained for him. Sadly all Tsukishima could do was hope he was chosen among the other 30 something candidates. He knew that he did already have a pretty good chance at being at least in the top 10 since he already has a bit of experience with working. Although that came from a crappy drugstore job and not a nice coffee shop. But he knew how to sell and his way around a cash register.

With these thoughts Tsukishima slowly drifted asleep; thinking about the shop,location, pro's, con's, school, and of course the cute owner.
